1. Boy Scout Caleb Mulholland visited Mooresville Police Department recently and presented his Eagle Scout project. According to the MPD Facebook post, "for over a year, Caleb has been working with Officer Dave and MPD on this project and [yesterday] he presented the department with a beautiful granite marker honoring Officer Sheldon and two handmade thin blue line benches. The marker is placed at the K9 house at MPD and the benches on the patio. MPD is very proud of Caleb obtaining his Eagle Scout award and honored to be the recipient of his scout project." Great job Caleb. (Mooresville Police Department via Facebook)
2. The Christian Mission, a nonprofit in Mooresville, is working to make a difference for people in need. According to WCNC.com, "One in seven people lives below the poverty line. One in five students in Iredell County lives in poverty and one in three students in Mooresville schools lives in poverty. The Christian Mission serves as a catalyst, hoping to break the cycle of poverty through crisis assistance, case management and educational programs. "Our goal is to help individuals in need with food, clothes and shelter," executive director Amy LaCount said. "But more so to help them get out of the situation they are in." The hope is that these clients can work individually with a case manager to set goals and reach them. Little by little, those skills can add up to make a big difference." (WCNC.com)
